Rupturing - Path of Exile

1. Rupturing

The Rupture skill previously helped critical strike bleed builds. It's been renamed to Rupturing and has been simplified while being made more powerful.
Critical Strikes that inflict bleeding now also inflict Rupture - which causes bleeding enemies to lose more life but their bleed expires more quickly.

Rupturing

Does Rupturing's "Bleeding on [ruptured enemies] expires 25% more quickly" affect bleeding in the same way as "Bleeding you inflict deals damage x% faster" mods? Does it stack multiplicatively?

Not quite, but the total effect of rupture is similar despite these applying to different things at different times. Modifiers that cause ailments to deal damage faster modify the damage per second multiplicatively (just like a "more damage" modifier), and apply the inverse modification to the duration, so that the total expected damage of the ailment stays the same. Multiple 'deal damage faster' modifiers stack additively with each other.

Modifiers that affect how quickly things expire do not affect the magnitude of the effect at all, and technically do not modify the duration, they make time be tracked differently for that effect. The most common example is Temporal Chains, which you can see in-game does not affect the numerical duration of buffs/debuffs on you, but makes their timers tick down more slowly.

If you inflict Bleeding that would deal 100 damage per second for the default 5 seconds, but have "Bleeding you inflict deals damage 25% faster", that applies 25% more damage per second, and the inverse of this modifier to the duration, resulting in inflicting a bleeding that deals 125 damage per second for a 4 second duration; the total expected damage is still 500. These are the values applied to the enemy in the debuff.

If that enemy is Ruptured, they have 25% more damage taken from bleeding, and the bleeding expires 25% more quickly. So assuming no other modifiers, they would be taking 156 damage per second, and the Bleeding debuff's "4 second" timer would tick down faster, resulting in it expiring after only 3.2 real seconds have passed, and thus dealing a total of 499 damage - 1 having been lost to rounding.

Note that the modifiers from Rupture are dynamic - a bleeding enemy starts taking more damage when they become Ruptured and ceases to do so when Rupture expires, and similarly, a bleeding enemy that becomes ruptured will have the timer on their bleeding debuff speed up, and return to normal speed if rupture is removed.
